Bill,
I don't understand your example, but I do agree with Doug: the current
JLS (S. 12.4.2, P. 226) *does* take care of class initialization. Roughly
speaking, it says that at every possible "point of initialization" [their
wording], a thread must (effectively) execute a synchronized method that
initializes the class if it's not already initialized. This seems
sufficient (if potentially costly).
